I use GPSSync which is part of kipi-plugins and can be used in digikam. 
You have to install the kipi-plugins package from your distribution. 
Then you can select some images and go to 
"Image->Geolocation->Correlator" to have the coordinates from your 
recorded tracks added to your images. Note that it can only read gpx 
files, so you may have to convert your data to the gpx format using for 
example gpsbabel. Once you have the coordinates written to your images, 
you can use the "Map search" tab on the left side of digikam to search 
for images on a map.
